Physical texture influences judgments of robot personality
Dec 06, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Impressions of a robotâs personality can be influenced by the way it looks, sounds, and feels. But now, researchers from Japan have found specific causal relationships between impressions of robot personality and body texture. In a study published in Advanced Robotics ("The first impressions of...
